http://www.nzpcn.org.nz/publications/Trilepidea-116-130721.pdf
(Lots of interesting stuff but of especial interest is the new website which is an online encyclopaedia of NZ birds, launched in June: nzbirdsonline
Also an interesting list of botanical names derived from Maori words.
And an article about the Forest and Bird restoration project at Paremata Flats in Nelson which now has fernbird numbers increasing. Waikato Branch has supported this project.)
Send in any plant conservation news and events (have you found a threatened plant? Are you undertaking a restoration project? Do you have plant stories, talks, planting days, field trips?) that you would like promoted nationwide. Email to: events @nzpcn.org.nz
The deadline for copy for the next issue of this newsletter is Wednesday 14 August 2013.
